@rondonson - Witness Update Thread

Hello my fellow Steemians..i am happy to say that my backup witness server has been running smoothly and i haven't had any problems since i got it running.

Current Steem Version: 0.18.2 (upgrading to hardfork 19)

Last week we had an issue with many users who couldn't upvote or make any posts because their SP was too low. Witnesses had a meeting and decided to boost the maximum_block_size to increase the bandwidth for new users on SteemIT. Me being a back up witness it was not necessary for me to increase my block size...but i did anyway.

I left my account creation fee at 0.100 but i would like some guidance from other more experienced witnesses, on this matter. Is my account creation fee set properly?

Updates

Increased maximum_block_size from 65536 to 131072
Adding seed node in the coming weeks



This is my first week as a witness so i do not have any major updates to announce, but as time moves on i expect these update threads to be full of news and what i've been doing as a witness. If you like my style and think i am a good witness for SteemIT i could really use your vote. Currently i am ranked over 100, and i don't even show up on the witness list. There are tons of inactive witnesses still on this list though, thats why we need your help to vote for active witnesses, like myself. To vote just goto www.steemit.com/~witnesses...scroll down to the bottom, and type in rondonson and click vote.
